A day trip

I didn't realise how often I was going to use this Basic Grey pad, its been perfect for Sunny and Spring cards and today's card is no exception. This is for the challenge over on Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge which A day trip.
So with this Tilda in mind and this background stamp I thought of a day trip to the seaside or sometimes (when I was little) we used to go to Frensham pond which had a sandy bank. I used the retro flowers and sunny yellow brads and a few gems to finish, the sentiment is from Hero Arts clear set.
I am feeling extremely guilty I've so many uninked stamps (ok only a little bit guilty) I honestly don't know where to start, love all the Magnolia's but I forgot I ordered the Belles and Whistles sweeties and then the lovely Wendy sent me her new Manga ones. which are so cute.
I've been thinking too, yes I do occasionally, Pinky asked if I always 3D my images and my brother moaned that my cards are expensive to post. I wondered whether to go flat but would I be happy. Even before cute cards were so popular, I always did some 3d and my cards didn't look right unless there was something on them for dimension. So will I change, er NO.
I've started to schedule my post the night before and now I realise why I shouldn't, it seems I waffle on in the evening, obviously not quite awake when I create a post in the morning.

Hi Debby, the amazing 3-D look of your cards is one of the (many) things I love about them! That paper is gorgeous - I don't recognise the pack, but I agree that it is perfect for a sunny, summery card. Love that cloud and flowers background too and you just can't beat a sweet Tilda to top off a perfect card, Jo x

Hiya Debby. Lovely cute card here chuck. Tilda looks so adorale in her swimsuit. This challenge has brought fond memories back for me too. I know what you mean about dimension. Some cards I make look nice flat - then others just cry out for layering. These though I try not post now as too many have either not reached destination or the envelopes damaged!!!!

Hope your well chuck and thanks for adding me on facebook.

Beautiful summer card, love the background. Keep doing your cards the way you like them Debby, I like to add dimension to my cards but I did a few flat and wasn't happy with them! And if they're abit more expensive to post, I say 'tough'! :)

I love your last ballerina kitty, Debby and this little Tilda is fabulous against her stunning papers. One of the very special design elements in your cards is your superb use of 3D. I see this as your signature style and you do it so well. Don't stop! Warmest wishes, Lesley
